Volkswagen Passat LS Coupe / Dasher
Many felt the Volkswagen Passat LS to be simply a badge-engineered Audi. True, Volkswagen had their own ideas about gear linkage, body styling and suspension rates, but broadly speaking the Passat LS was an Audi 80 with a VW badge on it, and a rather poor indented Wolfsburg castle symbol on the cross-spoke of the steering wheel.
The Passat was one of the most modern European family cars at the time, and was intended as a replacement for the aging Volkswagen Type 3 and Type 4. The Passat was Wheels magazine’s Car of the Year for 1974 and its sister model Audi 80 was nominated car of the year by the European motor press a year earlier. The platform was ...

Inside Out:
It’s a tried and tested formula; a raised ride height (by 30mm in the Alltrack’s case), some plastic body cladding and revised bumpers both for better off-road abilities and rugged looks. The result is handsome and interesting for sure, but like any other Passat Estate this isn’t a Volkswagen that you look back at longingly.
There’s even less changed inside, where the familiar cabin is only livened up by the occasional Alltrack badge and the single off-road button on the centre console. At least that means the ...

Volkswagen focuses on improved sales in North America
Volkswagen plans to invest more than $7 billion in North America over the next five years in its quest to sell more than 1 million Volkswagen and Audi vehicles in the U.S. by 2018, company officials said.
While it would be expected that some of that growth would happen at the company’s plant in Chattanooga, officials remain tight-lipped on which factory ultimately will be awarded the company’s new midsize SUV that is planned to hit showrooms by 2016.
At this week’s 2014 North American International Auto Show, CEO Martin Winterkorn would not say where the SUV would be built, but its plant in Chattanooga is under consideration.

UK: ZF confirms plans to manufacture 8-speed auto
At two separate events recently, ZF publicly confirmed rumours that it is developing a new 8-speed automatic transmission, for launch in 2010. This follows the introduction by Mercedes -Benz of its 7-speed W7A-700 in 2003, and more recently the Aisin TL-80SC (=Toyota /Lexus AA80E) 8-speed automatic, which is fitted in the Lexus LS460 [250L] writes Chris Guile, powertrain analyst at CSM Worldwide .
The new ZF ‘8HP’ transmission will, like its 5HP and 6HP predecessors, be used in passenger car applications with longitudinally mounted engines, and rear-wheel or all-wheel drive configurations. It will, therefore, be no surprise to learn ...

Paris Show: 2011 VW Passat Sedan and Estate B7 or more like B6.75. [Updated]
[Fresh pics added] What can we expect from the crisp, facelifted B6 Passat. Well, for one thing, it’s actually labeled a seventh-generation model even though it’s clearly B6-derived. In its defense, VW says every body panel apart from the roof is new.
Said new panels extend the car by 4 millimeters (4,769 mm for sedan, 4,771 mm Estate), while the width and height remain the same at 1,820 mm and 1,474 mm, respectively.
Up front, the nose gets a more attractive grille / headlight treatment and is more in-line with VW’s current styling. On the outer edges of the new, chromey grille reside LED running ...

Volkwasgen plans to debut its Passat BlueMotion concept car, which mixes the midsize family car with a highly-efficient 1.4-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. While it is not immediately clear whether this model will go into production, Volkswagen is apparently weighing its options to make its fleet more efficient ahead of U.S. regulations that mandate automakers’ fleets have an average efficiency of 54.5 mpg.
